Hefty Settlement for L.A. Community College Chancellor

Submitted by Doug Lederman on August 3, 2009 - 3:00am

Last month, Marshall Drummond somewhat mysteriously left the chancellorship[1] of the Los Angeles Community College District, announcing that he and the board had mutually agreed on the move. Drummond was in his second tenure in the job, having left in 2004 to lead the statewide community college system, but returning in 2007 to what he called the job he was really drawn to. It's still not clear why he left, but the Los Angeles Times[2] reported on his settlement: $428,750 (over 19 months) and lifetime health insurance.
